About Girl on the run

I started running to train for GSR 2007, and staggered round with minimal training Embarassed in 1:53:50 in extremely adverse weather conditions.

In 2008 I did the Great Manchester, North & South Runs - GNR was my first (but not my last half marathon).

I've now come to the conclusion that this running lark isn't as bad as I thought, and 2009 will see me complete my first marathon in September. 

I've also signed up to complete the Oxfam Trailwalker with Pam, Katie and Lexi (a girl from my office), so I'm sure I'll have plenty of cake / walking related anecdotes to regale you all with.

PBs:

5k - 28:04 (Belgrave Bolt 2009)

10k - 53:13 (Brooklands 10k 2009)

Half marathon - 2:15:14 (GNR 2008)

Marathon - 4:51:41 (Berlin 2009)

2009 Races:

4th October: Alton 10k - another club GP event - target time tbc

11th October: Royal Parks Half Marathon - to beat my HM PB

25th October: Great South Run - 3rd year in a row - good times!

15th November: Gosport Half Marathon - another club GP event - target time tbc, but I also want to put ghosts of last year's horrible race to rest!
